Read A File and Store Values into a 2-Dimensional Integer Array?

Hello! On top of the other program I have is one that deals with taking values from a file, "input.txt" (click on the file name), storing those values into a 2D array, and printing them out like so:

6 5 4 1
2 3 4 5
8 10 12 23
43 84 11 4

I also need to calculate the sum of the diagonal from the top left of the array to the bottom right of the array. In this case, the sum would be 25 (6+3+12+4).

And in addition to that, I need to make a transpose of that output and again calculate the sum of the diagonal from the top left of the array to the bottom right of the array like this:

6 2 8 43
5 3 10 84
4 4 12 11
1 5 23 4
Sum = 25

This is my code so far:

Code :

---

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
 
class Doubles
{
  public static void main (String []args)
  {
    try
    {
      int i, j, n = 4;
      int[][] array = new int[n][n];
      String line;
 
      FileInputStream fstream  = new FileInputStream("input.txt");
      Scanner scan = new Scanner(fstream);
      DataInputStream In = new DataInputStream(fstream);
      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(In));
 
      //Stores data into an array
      while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
      {
        array[0][0] = line;
      }
      reader.close();
      System.out.println("Here is the matrix version: ");
 
      for (i=0; i<n; i++)
      {
        for (j = 0; j<n; j++)
        { 
          System.out.print(array[i][j]);
        }
      }
    }
    catch (Throwable e)
    {
      System.out.println("This is not valid!"); 
    }  
  }
}

Obviously the code isn't done yet, but as you can tell I have no idea how to store the values into the 2D array, let alone calculate the sum and print that out. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Here's what you need to know.
1) Read a file (DONE)
2) Tokenize a String (DONE)
3) Convert a string to an int
To convert a String to an Int use the following code:
Integer.parseInt(inputString);

Now I'm going to show you the algorithm in pseudo-code that way you can still learn.

Code java:

---

public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[][] data = new Integer[4][4]();
        makeInputStream;
        int row, column = 0;
        while(inputstream has more lines)
        {
             tokenize the current line to remove all spaces;
             while (tokenizer has more tokens)
             {
                 Integer.parseInt(token);
                 column++
             }
            row++;
        }
 
        //Now that we stored the file into a 4x4 array we need to add the diagonals 
 
       int x, y, total;
 
       while (x is less than data's columns and Y is less than datas rows)
       {
            total += data[x][y]
            x++;
            y++;
       }
 
       System.out.println(total);
    }
}

Why would I need to remove all the spaces? I need to have a space after each number.

Also, when did I tokenize a string? My professor told us we had to use the InputStream, but he barely explained how it works. Since that's the case I also don't know how to check if the input stream has more lines.

You do need to remove all of the spaces after you read the file. You can't convert the string "10 " to the int 10.

You checked if the stream had more lines in your OP.

Code java:

---

while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) //Remember?

---

You were also using Stringtokenizers in your last thread, so I assumed you know how to use them.

Code :

---

 //Stores data into an array
      while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
      {
        StringTokenizer line2 = new StringTokenizer(line);
 
        while (line2.hasMoreTokens())
        {
          array[column][row] = Integer.parseInt(line2.nextToken());
          column++;
        }
        row++;
      }

---

Code :

---

for (i=0; i<column; i++)
      {
        for (j=0; j<row; j++)
        {
          sum += array[i][j];
        }
      }
      System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }

---

When I try this the exception kicks in and states that it's not valid. I know it has to do with the fact that I'm going further than the array's limits, but what can I do then? "column" will keep incrementing past the array's limits in the first while loop.

Also, it doesn't print out how I want it to print out. How I want it to print out can be found in my original post.

Sorry for double posting, but I just want to say that this particular assignment is due Friday and I'd like to get it done as soon as I can, considering all the other work I have to get done this week.
